Abstract

This display includes a display portion for displaying images and a housing mounted with a mounting portion of the display portion, while the housing is so formed as to warp in a recessed shape concaved rearward along the longitudinal direction in plan view, and so structured as to have a flat shape in plan view when the display portion is fixed.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1. A display comprising:
 a display portion for displaying images; and 
 a housing mounted with a mounting portion of said display portion, wherein 
 said housing is so formed as to warp in a recessed shape concaved rearward along the longitudinal direction in plan view, and so structured as to have a flat shape in plan view when said display portion is fixed, 
 said housing includes boss portions coming into contact with said mounting portion of said display portion for mounting said display portion on said housing at least one by one on both end-sides of said housing and on a central-side of said housing in the longitudinal direction, and the protrusive heights of said boss portions of said housing are substantially equalized to each other. 
 
     
     
       2. The display according to  claim 1 , wherein
 said end-sides are end portions of said housing and said central-side is a central portion of said housing. 
 
     
     
       3. The display according to  claim 2 , wherein
 said boss portions of said housing have threaded holes, 
 said display portion is fixed to said housing by fitting screw members into said threaded holes of said boss portions of said housing through said mounting portion, and 
 said housing is deformed into said flat shape in plan view from the state warping in said recessed shape when said display portion is fixed to said housing by said screw members. 
 
     
     
       4. The display according to  claim 1 , wherein
 said housing is made of resin, and so formed by resin molding as to warp in said recessed shape concaved rearward along the longitudinal direction in plan view. 
 
     
     
       5. The display according to  claim 4 , wherein
 said mounting portion of said display portion is made of a metal, and so formed that said housing of resin is deformed into said flat shape from the state warping in said recessed shape concaved rearward while said metallic mounting portion of said display portion remains undeformed when said metallic mounting portion of said display portion is fixed to said housing of resin. 
 
     
     
       6. The display according to  claim 1 , wherein
 said housing includes an opening for exposing said display portion frontward and a protrusion so provided along said opening as to protrude rearward with respect to said display portion, and 
 said protrusion of said housing is so formed as to separate from said mounting portion of said display portion when said display portion is fixed to said housing. 
 
     
     
       7. The display according to  claim 1 , wherein
 said housing is so formed as to warp in said recessed shape concaved rearward along the horizontal direction in plan view, and so structured as to have said flat shape in plan view when said display portion is fixed. 
 
     
     
       8. The display according to  claim 2 , wherein
 said boss portions of said housing are provided at least one by one on said both end portions and said central portion of said housing in the longitudinal direction and also provided at least one by one on both end portions and a central portion of said housing in the short-side direction, and 
 all said boss portions provided on said housing are so formed as to have substantially identical protrusive heights. 
 
     
     
       9. A liquid crystal television set comprising:
 a display portion for displaying images; and 
 a housing mounted with a mounting portion of said display portion, wherein 
 said housing is so formed as to warp in a recessed shape concaved rearward along the longitudinal direction in plan view, and so structured as to have a flat shape in plan view when said display portion is fixed, 
 said housing includes boss portions coming into contact with said mounting portion of said display portion for mounting said display portion on said housing at least one by one on both end-sides of said housing and on a central-side of said housing in the longitudinal direction, and the protrusive heights of said boss portions of said housing are substantially equalized to each other. 
 
     
     
       10. A method of manufacturing a display, comprising steps of:
 forming a housing mounted with a mounting portion of a display portion displaying images to warp in a recessed shape concaved rearward along the longitudinal direction in plan view; and 
 fixing said display portion to said housing so that said housing has a flat shape in plan view, 
 said housing includes boss portions coming into contact with said mounting portion of said display portion for mounting said display portion on said housing at least one by one on both end-sides of said housing and on a central-side of said housing in the longitudinal direction, and the protrusive heights of said boss portions of said housing are substantially equalized to each other. 
 
     
     
       11. The method of manufacturing a display according to  claim 10 , wherein
 said housing includes boss portions coming into contact with said mounting portion of said display portion for mounting said display portion on said housing at least one by one on both end portions and a central portion of said housing in the longitudinal direction, and 
 the protrusive heights of said boss portions of said housing are substantially equalized to each other. 
 
     
     
       12. The method of manufacturing a display according to  claim 11 , wherein
 said boss portions of said housing have threaded holes, and 
 said step of fixing said display portion to said housing includes a step of deforming said housing into said flat shape in plan view from the state warping in said recessed shape concaved rearward by fitting screw members into said threaded holes of said boss portions of said housing through said mounting portion. 
 
     
     
       13. The method of manufacturing a display according to  claim 10 , wherein
 said step of forming said housing includes a step of forming said housing made of resin by resin molding to warp in said recessed shape along the longitudinal direction in plan view. 
 
     
     
       14. The method of manufacturing a display according to  claim 13 , wherein
 said mounting portion of said display portion is made of a metal, and 
 said step of fixing said display portion to said housing includes a step of fixing said display portion to said housing so that said housing of resin is deformed into said flat shape in plan view from the state warping in said recessed shape concaved rearward without deforming said metallic mounting portion of said display portion. 
 
     
     
       15. The method of manufacturing a display according to  claim 10 , wherein
 said housing includes an opening for exposing said display portion frontward and a protrusion so provided along said opening as to protrude rearward with respect to said display portion, and 
 said step of fixing said display portion to said housing includes a step of fixing said display portion to said housing so that said protrusion of said housing and said mounting portion of said display portion separate from each other. 
 
     
     
       16. The method of manufacturing a display according to  claim 10 , wherein
 said step of forming said housing includes a step of forming said housing to warp in said recessed shape concaved rearward along the horizontal direction in plan view. 
 
     
     
       17. The method of manufacturing a display according to  claim 11 , wherein
 said housing includes boss portions coming into contact with said mounting portion of said display portion for mounting said display portion on said housing at least one by one on both end portions and a central portion of said housing in the longitudinal direction, and 
 the protrusive heights of said boss portions of said housing are substantially equalized to each other.
